It is dark and uncomfortable in the train car, the awkward silence from both the new and old members hung thick on the air and they are in either small groups or couples, but the only person who's sitting alone is Daryl. Still sitting right beside the metal door, he did not even bothered huddling up with other people. Rick looked at him warily, Daryl has been quiet ever since they were caught and put in this train car, Rick stood up and walked toward him and once he was in-front of the other man, He stretched out his hand and said, "Loathing there by yourself won't do you any good, Brother...sit with us" Daryl looked up to face Rick, his hair covered his eyes.
He nodded briefly, and held onto Rick's hand and hoisted himself up.
Carl, Michonne , Rick and Daryl all sat in the middle of the rusty train car, All huddled together composedly then Rick turned to Daryl and said "We had a great run, you know? I would've never guessed that we would make it this far."
Daryl looked at him questioningly, "What do you mean,man?" Daryl muttered.
Rick turned away from Daryl and looked at the door instead. "I mean, if this is the end I'm happy that I got to spend the last moments of it with the people I called my family." Rick stated with a faint doleful smile.
"Don't be like that..This won't be the end, i know it." Daryl said meaningfully
Everyone around them are eyeing them absently. They are all clueless about what Rick and Daryl are talking about, Both of them thought that it's for the best that the others doesn't know what they are whispering about. the last thing they want to hear right now is that their Leader is losing hope on living.
"It's strange" Rick muttered.
"What is?" Daryl replied
"That a person you've known for only years can mean a lot to you, it's like you've known them before all of this." Rick looked at Daryl with beatific expression etched on his face.
"Rick? Who are you talking about?" Daryl raises his eyebrow in confusion.
"You." Rick chuckled
Daryl tilted his head in confusion to what Rick just said.
"You don't remember?" Daryl furrowed his eyebrows
"Remember what?" Rick questioned, still trying to piece together what Daryl is saying.
"Don't joke with me,man." Daryl said, almost pleasing that Rick is joking.
"I'm confused here, Daryl...What the hell are you talking about?" Rick asked
Daryl is trying his damn hardest to search for a fragment of humor on Rick's face, but he can't seem to find any. He then decided to let Rick see the material proof that could back up his statement of knowing Rick before all this.
"This." Daryl said and with that he reached onto his jacket's pocket and pulled out what seems like a toy crossbow toy.
Rick is breathless with what he saw.
"Where did you get that?" Rick said wide-eyed.
